Real talk here. I've been in crypto for over five years, but my total gains? Less than a grand. Right now my portfolio sits under $100. Honestly wondering—after all this time, does that still make me a newbie? Sometimes I feel like the years don't really count if the returns aren't there. Curious if anyone else relates to this.

It's been five years and I still haven't made any money, which is really disheartening... But on the other hand, the experience itself is valuable, isn't it?

It's been five years and it's still like this. To be honest, I'm a bit mentally exhausted. But on the other hand, how much you earn really has nothing to do with how long you've been in the market; it mainly depends on whether your strategy is right.

Five years and still losing money, this is a typical rookie mentality. It's not a matter of time, but that you haven't learned to analyze the chip distribution and technical charts at all. The pattern has already formed, and you should act decisively. As for you, you're wavering back and forth.

Five years and I still haven't saved up a hundred bucks... This is what it means to survive. Remember, the market is never short of failures; only those who can withstand several cycles are the winners.

Five years and still not breaking 100, this isn't a matter of skills, it's a mindset issue...

It's been five years and I still haven't made any money, this is so true... I mean, time doesn't equal experience, right? Sometimes it's just a combination of bad luck and poor strategy.

Less than a thousand in five years? Bro, this isn't a beginner issue, it's a matter of choosing the right track. Really, a longer time doesn't mean much; the key is whether you entered at the right entry point.
